Yesterday at about 2pm (UK time) after my worship, I saw the earth (residential areas in particular) flooded with still water. Yet there was no destruction, instead, there was rest, stability and beautiful stillness everywhere. Even the air was peaceful. There was an abundance of grace in every house gently flowing out into every Street, overflowing and covering every vegetation and living thing: the earth was saturated with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
It was covered in the still, sweet, peaceful assurance of his glory.
This was not a chaotic or clamorous outpouring. This was a paced but steady outflow, characterised by peaceful but assured power, causing overwhelming calm to fall on the land.
The flow came out of the stability and serenity that had taken over the Church: it issued from the belly of the body of Christ. The outpouring was the overflow of the unity and the safety inspired by a righteous community defined and dignified by the grace, peace and power of the oneness that agape (the God-type of Love) brings.
Self-centeredness, racism, pride, greed and lust - the divisive ills the enemy used to plague and keep the church under - had been put under. The flesh had been subjugated, the holy spirit of Jesus (the word of God) reigned in the Church of Jesus Christ.
All the earth was covered with the power of this revelation of the glory of God issuing from the body of Christ. The anointing of the Spirit of God brought an overflow of the word of God that illuminated all men with insight into the mind and person of God the Father - in the face of Jesus Christ his son. This was the mighty, unforced, peaceful last revival of the Church-that-was-raptured. This was their last last shake and witness.
How did it happen? By the Holy spirit through prayer.
This Church prayed without stopping.
.
Acts 4:31-33 NIV
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were
(1) all filled with the Holy Spirit and
(2) spoke the word of God boldly.
(3) All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
(4) And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all.
Amen: even so come, Lord Jesus.

Habakkuk 2:14 KJV
"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge (awareness) of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

Micah 4:1-2 also Isaiah 2:2-3 (KJV):
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
And many nations (people) shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Amen
